STAFFORD TOWNSHIP — Authorities say a southern New Jersey man suffered severe head trauma when he apparently jumped from a moving vehicle.

Stafford police tell The Press of Atlantic City that their initial investigation shows 18-year-old Deshawn Powell had been arguing with his girlfriend shortly before he jumped around 8 p.m. Friday. They say his head struck the pavement and he had a seizure.

Powell was flown to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition on Saturday. Further details on his condition were not disclosed.

No charges have been filed in the case, but the investigation is ongoing.
